Many thanks for the link, it does actually mention an easy workaround for the problem: Edit your configuration file (should be ~/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_3.7.0_155965261/configuration/config.ini ) and add a line:
org.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla

This way the mozilla renderer instead of webkit is used (this was the default in 3.6) and the crash does no longer occur.

If there is no chance of fixing the real bug in time for Precise, I'd suggest to add this line to /etc/eclipse.ini for all users.
